I also figured out what may have contributed to the Jars growing mold!

The heating pad at it's lowest setting was generating heat at around 87 degrees. I had it at medium which may have been in it's 90-100's possibly higher! And to think it actually started Mycelling only to be exposed to contaminants due to the heat!

I am trying to work with insulators to keep the heat around 70-75, so what would you guys use?

I ask this because I have already ruined 2 spore syringes.

My first batch I use the Jar method with brown rice flour, worm Casings I bought off of travelsignguy from eBay, and vermiculite I bought off of thefossilhunter.com from eBay. I added a half cup of Folgers coffee to increase the speed of the mycell growth and filled pint jars half way with the mixture without putting a layer of vermiculite on top (because I ran out) and tin foiled the top. I sterilized the jars for 20 minutes on stove top using a pot of water, a cover, and tin foil over each Jar. Once sterilized I placed the jars next to my air conditioner to quick cool and since it was taking so long I placed the jars in my freezer for 20 minutes for a quick cool. I injected 1-2 cc's into each jar and placed them on top of a heating pad on medium-low heat (70-80 degrees). I may have checked them too much because I got mycell growth after 5-6 days and after 2 weeks red lipstick mold set in on all jars, halting growth and stinking.

Now could the air conditioner/freezer have contaminated it?
Maybe I didn't boil long enough?
It might have been from when I tested how hot the syringe was with my finger but I washed clean before inoculating...




Well that aside I am thinking of trying this again with a spore syringe bought from either:

www.microsupply.com or www.ralphstersspores.com

and a mushroom bag bought from:
www.themadseason.com/ or some guy on ebay mdservices2009


Should I trust microsupply again or go with Ralph?

Should I get a 3 pound grow bag or 1 pound from mad season?

Or do I dare try the Jar BRF and VERM method again?





WOW

i thought i was bad

just wait

boil or PC for 90 full min. then wait about 8 or so hours. ( go outside.)

THEN inject.

This HAS to be a troll thread... I mean come on, this person posts about messing up EVERY step of growing, and now he's cooking his jars on a heating pad... I just don't believe it's possible .

next time make a lc. that way you wont ruin your whole syringe on 1 go. i stick to sporeworks for the syringes, tell them your a member and you just might get a free spore syringe.

You really need to read the basic teks, and follow them to a T.  I have been trying to grow shrooms for almost 6 months, and have yet to do it.  I never gave up though, and I now have 10 pints 20% colonized from G2G transfer.  I also have a mini monotub colonizing nicely.  The point Im trying to make is this hobby is very hard to get right, but once you get your sterilization procedures down, its a whole lot easier.

  My sister and my girlfriend are the only ones that know Im (trying to) grow mushrooms, and they have both asked me "when are you going to give up?"  NEVER GIVE UP!  They are both going to be tripping with me after all this hard work finally pays off!
